    The BBC Arabic team and two reporters with Arab sounding names were treated poorly by police.

    This could either be a case of racism, or targeting the media, and we don’t have enough data to determine which. Neither is a good look

      those IDF soldiers would have to be pretty fucking stupid to accidentally do a hate crime on the large van marked “TV” when there are plenty of other people in beating range they could do a hate crime on with no consequences.

      Hanlon’s razor be damned this was 100% on purpose.

      Edit: and it’s not like Israel has a history of killing journalists or anything. Please don’t look up “Shireen Abu Aqla”, nothing to see there

      Edit edit: Shireen ain’t the only one, ~20 in 20 years.
